Starting Our Day with Love

²My mind holds only what I think with God.

³That is a fact, and represents the truth of What you are and What your Father is. ⁴It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. ⁵It is this thought that fully guarantees salvation to the Son. ⁶For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. ⁷Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. ⁸Yet it is forever true.

²Because [forms] are illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are; defenses that protect your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized. ³Their purpose is to show you something else, and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to take its place.

²Open your mind, and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it fully, and remove the rest:

³My mind holds only what I think with God.

⁴Five minutes with this thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed, and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day.

They will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. ²And so each one will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. ³So will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has willed it be. (A Course in Miracles, W-rIV.in.2:2-8;3:2-3;5:2–6:3)

This is a great way to start our day, remembering our mind holds only the truth that we think with God. Because God is only Love, our real mind holds only thoughts of Love.

The wish to experience specialness could only seem to be answered in a split mind that makes up illusionary forms and believes they are real. This is the world we experience as bodies. This world cannot bring us lasting happiness because it denies the Source of true happiness.

As we remind ourselves that our mind holds only what we think with God, we are opening to the healing of our mind. Our thoughts of Love, which we share with God, heal our fear-based thoughts. Love does not condemn, so our thoughts of Love dispel our judgments. Opening our mind to Love is the path to freedom from the limitations of the ego’s dream of separation.
